AboutAbout the lab
Palliative care that supports patients with serious illness and their families
The Palliative Medicine Lab is engaged in clinical practice, research, and education in palliative care.
The professor explains that palliative care is for all patients suffering from serious illness and their families, and is not limited to end-of-life care.
The national government is working to promote "palliative care from the time of cancer diagnosis," and the professor states that even for curable diseases, it is important to adequately relieve suffering from the early stages.
In the greeting on taking office in 2015, the professor named educating medical students and young doctors in palliative medicine and conducting high-quality clinical research as the lab's roles, and said the lab will strive to send out high-quality evidence from Tohoku.
